Bless you for asking @GordonHowe . Gave me an excuse to listen to a few of these a couple of times today!!
Bit of a sad connected history. Justin Townes Earl is the son of Steve Earl. Steve Earl (who had his own heroin/opiate issues) was very good friends with Townes Van Zandt (who has his own heroin/opiate issues). Steve Earl's ex wife did not like TVZ one bit because he tended to get Steve Earl into such trouble. TVZ died at the age of 52 -- technically of natural causes but clearly a result of years and years and years of heavy hard use of his body. Sadly Justin Townes Earl (who had his own heroin/opiate issues and was named after Van Zandt) died of an accidental overdose of ---- as if we have to guess these days...... cocaine laced with fentanyl.
Which one?
I believe Steve's been married like 7 times.
